PAF CAN regain the qualitative edge over IAF, but it'll take extensive and long-sighted planning, such as acquiring fighters in league of F/A-22 and JSF, as well as UCAV development, and other technologies. It cannot be done in the next 10 to 15 years, but as long as the economy grows at a...
From 2015, the IAF and many other 2nd class air forces will be inducting fighters like MCA, JSF (export models), PAK-FA, etc. Pakistan acquiring F-16s now won't put it in a superior position to IAF, but in a fairly comfortable and respectable position. The PAF's goal is to acquire...

People...calm down.
Pakistan is only delaying the F-16 deal until the media chills and forgets about the earthquake, like they did with the Tsunami and hurricane. This can take 1-2 months, up to 6-7 months, nonetheless, its sure better than an embargo.
There is enough life in the PAF's...
Pakistan won't cancel the deal, it'll simply delay it for a few months longer. Signing or announcing to sign the deal at this point will just Pakistan and the U.S under the heat, and increase the chances of an embargo. There is no harm waiting another few months, because ultimately...
LOL!!!!! HELL NO!
The Pak Army has 320 T-80UDs, ordered 320 Al Khalids (has like 100 of em I think), and ordered 300 Al Zarrars (has 100 of them now). The Al Khalid-2 will be the mainstay of the armour forces from 2010.
As far as I know, the PAF's BVR inventory isn't a very public thing, they hardly talk about it. That doesn't mean they don't have one, cause in the past, we've seen reports of BVRAAMs such as AIM-7 Sparrows being used on PAF F-16s, and T-Darters (modified S-Darter) being...
We shouldn't really be trusting any sources that come from South Asia, in fact, there is more credibility with Aerospace daily, then there is with Times of India. Although, this is still a teaser, but it kinda does prove that new-built F-16s will be acquired, as well as used ones, numbers...
He should really cool it, because I doubt he knew this was going to happen, it was a shock (no pun intended). We weren't prepared for this, and even if he was prime minister or whatever, he wouldn't have done better, no one could've. The situation was that bad, this is not the time...

It is quite sad that Pakistan has to resort to imported UAVs, despite us even selling border patrol crafts to the U.S. Its possible that we may buy on a ToT basis which hasn't been disclosed, and trying to advance our technology.
I think diverse fleet, access to different weapons (IDAS - a sub launched missile), etc. Well this is still in its early stages, negotiations may take months up to a year, so we'll have to wait and see.
It will be a logistical burden in operating different types of submarines, however, on the other hand Pakistan may be looking at different sources for weapons. Germany is also developing an advanced sub-launched missile, Pakistan wants to have a diverse fleet, German missile + diverse fleet =...
